Lynn, the basket has pretty big spaces between the sticks, so Connie is correct - I lined it with black weed barrier cloth. (Very observant Connie & Bev!) Its pretty heavy when wet because its so big. I was originally going to plant different sedums in it and poke some through the sides. It was all set waiting for me to get some time to do that when along came the sieboldii and in it went! I could still always add other sedums to the sides but we'll see.....
